First Orbit DVD

A descent DVD
I expected more out of this DVD but it is a decent work recreating the first orbit of Yuri Gagarin. The audio is not bad either given the age and the scenes are very nice. It is pretty basic. Communications between Dawn 1 and Cedar 1 and background music while Yuri orbtis the earth. It is in real time. The beginning is way more interesting than the end. There are more communications Yuri and ground control. Towards the end there are almost none at all. He does loose radio contact as he orbits the earth but I was expecting there would be some kind of communication before reentry and there was none. People who are into space and history might enjoy this DVD but I woulnd't recommend it to everybody.
